6÷2(1+2) ( programming.dev )

https://zeta.one/viral-math/

I wrote a (very long) blog post about those viral math problems and am looking for feedback, especially from people who are not convinced that the problem is ambiguous.

It's about a 30min read so thank you in advance if you really take the time to read it, but I think it's worth it if you joined such discussions in the past, but I'm probably biased because I wrote it :)

Ackshually, the answer is 4

6÷2*(1+2)

6÷(3)*2

You're welcome

Typo in article:

If you are however willing to except the possibility that you are wrong.

Except should be 'accept'.

Not trying to be annoying, but I know people will often find that as a reason to disregard academic arguments.

wischi OP ,

Thank you very much 🫶. No it's not annoying at all. I'm very grateful not only for the fact that you read the post but also that you took the time to point out issues.

I just fixed it, should be live in a few minutes.
